Get given an email account with a crappy password system, and even worse features, and told your teachers will only communicate with you on that email account

Get sent an info package with everything but useful information

Get told to buy 5 expensive text books, and that the library is no use because all the content is online behind a paywall website

Try to login to that paywall website only to find out the password you were sent doesn't work

Call helpdesk (only open between 9 and 5pm), and get told the server was down for the weekend and to please try again in a few hours when they think the problem will have been fixed

Finally get in to the paywall website revealing some pretty crap content from the POV of one pretty mediocre teacher, who barely knows how to use the Internet, let alone the paywall website itself... you have to sign into this each day.

Do a Google search for one of the assignments you have to do, only to find close to the same course is freely available as open education.. finally you ask why!

Get a grade with feedback you don't understand, and finally a feedback survey that can only be filled in with pen and you have to send it back by mail yourself!

I'm an outtie - I'm in my mid 40's and left the corporate world for a few years ago.

Wanted to explore - I did the math - and realized after paying 100K+ for an MBA. I'd be qualified for the same job I just quit.

Wound up working at a university as an edtech. As someone with a lowly tech school diploma from 20 years ago. There was definitely a sense of whether I was "qualified" to do the job without "a masters degree" I was able to support every application and operating system they had - glue printers together and run circles around just about everyone. The few who did know their stuff appreciated my skills.

Being used to glass ceilings, the boys club and the like - it didn't phase me.

I'm glad I had that experience - I'm glad I got them to pay me and not the other way around!
